Mystic Window
Now is the time to be patient and calm.
Mindfully observe all that is occurring around
you and carefully gather all of your resources
and thoughts. Do not become self-indulgent or weak in the face of opposition or tragedy.
Instead show courage and resoluteness. Now
is not the time to play the victim.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
A mountain under the heavens
Is an iron fortress of solitude.
With gathered strength and protected essence,
Secure the heart of illumination.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
A hidden tiger tail signals danger.
Keep still and attract no attention.
Line 2
Assume a disguise
And conceal your authentic self.
Drop the charade at your peril.
Line 3
Convictions bind you to yourself And imprison you at the same time.
Diseased and dangerous Qi abounds.
Indulge yourself and enjoy what you already
have For abundance begets abundance.
Line 4
Conceal your good nature and compassion And you will be elevated.
Abundance abounds.
An ordinary man will not heed this warning.
Line 5
Conceal your excellent virtue.
Listen as your soul speaks And abundance will manifest swiftly.
Line 6
Hide your wealth.
Conceal your riches
And you will gain a supreme advantage.
